  • The Cabinet Handbook
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA THE CABINET HANDBOOK Cabinet Secretariat Office of the President www.cabinetsecretariat.go.ug December 2008 FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the Cabinet Handbook which provides clear and comprehensive policy management guidelines for the Cabinet and other arms of Government involved in the policy management process. Cabinet is the highest policy making organ of government and is therefore responsible for policy development and its successful implementation. Cabinet collectively, and Ministers individually, have a primary duty to ensure that government policy best serves the public interest. This Cabinet Handbook outlines the principles by which Cabinet operates. It also sets out the procedures laid down to facilitate Cabinet’s realization of its central role of determining government policy and supporting ministers in meeting their individual and collective responsibilities, facilitating coordinated and strategic policy development. In the recent past, my government has made major contributions in the documentation and improvement of processes and procedures that support decision making at all levels of government. In conformity to our principle of transforming government processes and achieving greater transparency, and effectiveness in our management of policy; my government has focused its attention on introducing best practices in the processes and procedures that support decision making at all levels of Government. This Cabinet Handbook is primarily intended for Cabinet Ministers and Ministers of State. However, it must be read by all officers that are in various ways associated with the policy process, so that they are guided to make a better contribution to Cabinet's efficient functioning. The Secretary to Cabinet and the Cabinet Secretariat are available to offer advice and assistance.

Throughout this guide, we’ve included many photographs and illustrations plus information to help create each specific architectural style. Appendix Contents Architectural Styles Product Overview Photo Gallery Architectural Styles This guide showcases nine house designs, each featuring a different architectural style used as precedent. The specific design examples are not intended to represent strict architectural principles, but rather demonstrate design variations inspired by each style. Styles used as precedent were selected from the Colonial, Romantic, Victorian, and Eclectic periods of architecture. They include: Cape Cod Federal/Adam Queen Anne French Colonial Greek Revival Folk Victorian Georgian Italianate Craftsman Each featured style offers an explanation of its distinguishing characteristics and an overview of suggested vinyl siding profiles, colors, architectural trim, and accessories available to help achieve its look, with all of its rich detail. A variety of photographs are included to demonstrate how each style has been interpreted through designs using vinyl siding. The possibilities for residential design are as limitless as your imagination.

  • INSTALLATION GUIDE Ceiling Components: a Tin Ceiling Is Comprised of Two Primary Components and Two Optional Components
    INSTALLATION GUIDE Ceiling Components: A tin ceiling is comprised of two primary components and two optional components. The primary components are the tin ceiling panels and the crown molding. Optional components are flat molding/rope molding and filler. These components are generally used when the design layout requires it. Backsplashes and Other Applications: Tin panels can be used for more than just beautifying your ceiling. Our customers have used our tin panels for various appli- cations such as walls, backsplashes, fireplaces, counter tops, cupboards, doors, wainscoting, accent pieces, headboards, art décor, metal sculpture and more. The applications are limited only by your imagination. Layout: There are a variety of layout possibilities with tin, including the use of molding, filler panels, and more. Tools and Materials: See your project installation instructions for the specific materials list for your project type. • Tin panels: Atomic50 has three types of panels depending upon the type of installation: Nail-Up is used for traditional applications on a wood substrate, and for all backsplash, wall, and wainscoting projects (use adhesive instead of nails for these applications). Snap Lock™ is used for installation over dry-wall or popcorn ceilings. Drop-In panels are used with standard 2’ x 2’ systems that have 15/16” grid widths. • Crown/Flat Molding: Matching tin molding is available from Atomic50. Wood molding can be purchased at a local hardware store. • Fasteners: Cone head nails and/or brad nails (Nail-Up panels), #6 drywall screws (Snap Lock™ panels), Loctite® Power Grab® Adhesive (Nail-Up panels for backsplash, wall and project applications) • Construction adhesive: Loctite® Power Grab® (Backplash, Wall and Project applications) • Caulking: DAP Painters Caulk (for Nail-Up and Snap Lock™ application types) • Touch-up paint: We carry a selection of touch-up paints.

  • Chapter One: the Background and Roles of Shadow Cabinet
    Chapter one: the background and roles of Shadow Cabinet As with most other components of the Australian political system, Shadow Cabinet evolved from an informal process in the British Parliament. From the mid-nineteenth century in Britain, a distinct and organised opposition began to emerge; a leadership group to coordinate its strategy soon followed.1 In the latter half of that century, the Shadow Cabinet became a recognised entity within British politics, though British academic D.R. Turner notes that ‘its use was still limited and its full potential unrecognised’.2 Over time, the Shadow Cabinet slowly solidified its position in the British system, marked most notably in 1937, when the position of Leader of the Opposition began to carry a salary.3 This same development, however, had already taken place in Australia, 17 years earlier, following an initiative of Prime Minister Billy Hughes.4 As academic, Ian Ward notes, this remains the only formal recognition of Shadow Cabinet in Australia; shadow ministers’ salaries are set at the same rate as backbenchers, but they are usually given an allowance—around one-fifth of that allocated to ministers—for researchers and other staff.5 In this chapter, I briefly examine the evolution of the British Shadow Cabinet and how that has impacted the Australian equivalent. I then examine the three roles most commonly ascribed to the British Shadow Cabinet and discuss the extent to which they are evident in the modern Australian Shadow Cabinet. These roles are: organising the Opposition, providing an alternative government and serving as a training ground for future ministers.

  • Handbook on Writing Cabinet Notes
    Government of India Cabinet Secretariat Handbook on writing Cabinet Notes Updated till 15.04.2018 Government of India Cabinet Secretariat Handbook on writing Cabinet notes https://cabsec.gov.in FOREWORD The decisions taken by the Cabinet and Committees of the Cabinet are fundamental to the governance of the country and form the basis of policy formulation as also for evaluating the impact of programmes, policies, plans, projects and schemes of the Government. The preparation of correct, accurate and concise Cabinet notes is essential to facilitate decision making at the highest level of the Government. 2. For helping the Ministries/Departments write good quality Cabinet notes that are conceptually clear, lucid and well-organized, the Cabinet Secretariat had prepared a Handbook in 2011, capturing all necessary information on the subject. The compilation has not only assisted the Ministries/ Departments but has also contributed towards improving the quality of Cabinet notes. 3. Several new instructions relating to preparation of Cabinet notes have since been issued. While all these instructions are available on the website of the Cabinet Secretariat (https://cabsec.gov.in), a need has been felt to update the Handbook by reflecting all the extant instructions etc. so that it can continue to serve as a single reference document for preparation of Cabinet notes. Accordingly, the Handbook has been updated. Besides preparation of the Cabinet notes, the Handbook also explains the Rules for disposal of Business in the Government, including the process of amending the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961. 4. I do hope that the Ministries/ Departments will find this updated Handbook useful.

  • Australia's System of Government
    61 Australia’s system of government Australia is a federation, a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. This means that Australia: Has a Queen, who resides in the United Kingdom and is represented in Australia by a Governor-General. Is governed by a ministry headed by the Prime Minister. Has a two-chamber Commonwealth Parliament to make laws. A government, led by the Prime Minister, which must have a majority of seats in the House of Representatives. Has eight State and Territory Parliaments. This model of government is often referred to as the Westminster System, because it derives from the United Kingdom parliament at Westminster. A Federation of States Australia is a federation of six states, each of which was until 1901 a separate British colony. The states – New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania - each have their own governments, which in most respects are very similar to those of the federal government. Each state has a Governor, with a Premier as head of government. Each state also has a two-chambered Parliament, except Queensland which has had only one chamber since 1921. There are also two self-governing territories: the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. The federal government has no power to override the decisions of state governments except in accordance with the federal Constitution, but it can and does exercise that power over territories. A Constitutional Monarchy Australia is an independent nation, but it shares a monarchy with the United Kingdom and many other countries, including Canada and New Zealand. The Queen is the head of the Commonwealth of Australia, but with her powers delegated to the Governor-General by the Constitution.

Today, this still happens. But, today, most of the decisions that affect WHITEHOUSE.GOV Americans’ day-to-day lives are made by entities known as federal agencies. The reason for their existence is simple. Congress’s job is to draft and pass legislation. Much of the legislation that they pass is broad in scope and affects millions of people. Because our country has become so populous and increasingly diverse, it would be impossible for Congress to be experts on every piece of legislation it passed. Likewise, the President, who is tasked with enforcing the laws that Congress passes, cannot by himself do everything that is necessary to make sure that all parts of a law are being followed correctly. Finally, the Supreme Court and federal courts are far too busy hearing and deciding cases to worry about such matters as how many judges are needed, how much the budget will be for the upcoming year, and how to supervise the thousands of federal court employees.
